Getting Started
The following snippet will run grabby it's most basic form, this will generate a screengrab of Google's home page in a
PNG called grabby.png at a resolution of 1920x1080px. The file will be stored in the same directory which the Grabby
Factory class is located.
Extra Parameters
You would probably like your screengrab to be stored in a different location and probably generated in a different size.
You can pass Grabby some extra parameters to do this. The following example will generate a screengrab of Google's home
page in a PNG called screenshot.jpg at a resolution of 150x200px. The file will be stored in /my/storage/dir/, an
exception is thrown if this directory doesn't exist.
Grabby also supports creating PDF versions of web pages in different paper sizes. You can use the same config as above to create PDF renderings using a viewport size, or, you can use the following paper size config:
Since Grabby is built on top of PhantomJS, you have all of the Web Page Module configuration options at your disposal. If
you required a complex configuration, you can build up an array using the module option as the array key and it's properties
as the value. The following example would create a portrait A4 PDF with a 3cm margin containing an image of Google's
homepage viewied through a 150px by 200px viewport using a header called X-Test with the value foo:
